Zoho is attempting to appeal to the mass market of Internet users by allowing its adherents to log in to the online office suite via Facebook Connect.
The move, which follows Zoho already offering sign-in with Google, Google Apps and Yahoo accounts, means that Facebook’s 400 million-plus users will be offered access to Zoho’s service without having to create a separate account.
If you share your documents with users not on Zoho, they can access the documents by logging in using their Facebook accounts, explains Zoho in a blog post
“We don’t want account creation to be a hindrance to try Zoho. So we simplify this by allowing users to try Zoho using their existing accounts,” says Zoho, promising plans to “to expand this further.”
Zoho’s Facebook app will still be available, while those that do have Zoho accounts already set up can link their existing accounts to Facebook.
